Wooden church in Żurowa

geography

The place is located in Pogórze Ciężkowickie , in the Pasma Brzanki Landscape Protection Park, south of the Brzanka ridge (534 m). The neighboring towns are Ołpiny in the southeast, Olszyny in the southwest, the city of Ryglice and Joniny in the north, and Swoszowa in the east.

history

The place was founded in 1368 under Magdeburg law , but was first mentioned as Szurowa in 1397 . The year of foundation reveals a document from 1421, which also identifies the presumed founders: Stanisław (the viceprocuratoris in Biecz or Sieciechów?), Mikołaj and Niklon (Nikel / Nikiel?) Meisner ( Nicolao et Nicloni dicto Maisnar ). At the turn of the 15th century it became known by the surname Kwaśna Woda (about sour water ) ( Bartholomaei de Zurow alias Quasna Woda [Quasnawoda] ). According to Kazimierz Rymut , the name Żurowa is derived from the personal name Żur , but Marcin Wojciech Solarz disagrees with him and claims that the two names are only apparently not related, and that the name ,urowa is also of topographical origin. He derives the early mentions of Szurowa (1397) and Schurow (1427) from the Middle High German sūr, which was pronounced in Polish as zur and meant sour, bitter, sharp, cruel . Therefore, in Middle High German Kwaśna Woda Sūr waʒʒer would and could be the basis for the later Szurowa, Zurowa, Żurowa. If this theory is correct, it would be next to the place name Ołpiny (also the seat of the parish for Żurowa until 1807) another indication of the participation of the probably not numerous settlers of German origin in the settlement of the Olszynka Valley in the middle of the 14th century which needs more research for confirmation.

The village belonged to the Kingdom of Poland (from 1569 aristocratic republic of Poland-Lithuania ), Krakow Voivodeship , Biecz District .

When Poland was first partitioned , Żurowa became part of the new Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria of the Habsburg Empire in 1772 (from 1804). From 1855 Żurowa belonged to the Jasło district .

In 1918, after the end of the First World War and the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, Żurowa came to Poland. This was only interrupted by the occupation of Poland by the Wehrmacht in World War II .

From 1975 to 1998 Żurowa belonged to the Tarnów Voivodeship .
